Here's a nitpick that seemed consistent throughout every series: When they're hailing another ship/planet/etc and they don't answer immediately they just assume there's no response. It's like calling someone and hanging up after one ring. Give them a chance to answer. I guess it was just a concession to not have 30 seconds of waiting around though.

It's like calling someone and hanging up after one ring. Give them a chance to answer. It always bugged me too. Especially when they are hailing a species they've never encountered before, because who's to say they even have compatible communications technology?

Also, surely not every species would have universal translator technology, shouldn't they be all like "holy poo poo you speak Phalxcon?"

When the Skrreea came aboard DS9 and were incomprehensible there was no defined protocol to establish a basis point for the universal translator to work from. So they took them to a dress shop. Maybe that is the protocol.

Mother fucker is one of the smartest men alive in the Federation as Starfleet couldn't do this. So Starfleet must have let him live until he died, then descended like vultures and turned of the town to get at the tech. The girl didn't even get to see 18.

Think of the tubes in Futurama, then make it bigger with an elevator, and also artificial gravity on the floor.

Germstore posted:and can probably handle multiple cars, so really advance elevators Yes, there's multiple cars. Think of it like a 3D grid, filling every part of the ship. That's why every time you get off one, you're right by where you need to go. It's also why there's always one ready when you walk up to it, unless the plot dictates that you have a short, angry conversation while you wait, followed by a terse elevator ride. Then you wait.

Did First Contact scare the poo poo out of anyone else when they were super young? Like I had no idea what Star Trek was really other than it wasn't Star Wars and someone took me to see First Contact in the movie theater and I can still remember being scared shitless seeing metal borg poo poo pop out of Picard's face.

My dad is the only other person in my family who likes Star Trek but only TOS because "Picard is a wuss." I tried to get my wife into Star Trek but she doesn't like it, as the borg say, it's futile.

He should like DS9 though because Sisko is not a wuss and also hates Picard.
